hi everyone i have a lenovo pro i9 aura edition with a 5060 and i noticed everytime i use discrete gpu from nvidia’s control panel the overall responsiveness of the screen and the snappiness is way less than the integrated gpu. i tried so many solutions like reinstalling and using DDU but nothing worked at all. anyone know a solution?
I recently acquired the base-ish model Pro 9i gen 10 (Ultra 9 285H, 32gb ram, 5050, non-tandem oled) and had a similar experience to so many posts here with regards to poor battery life. There are a few nuggets of wisdom scattered throughout a bunch of different posts here so I thought I would gather both tricks that worked for me for anyone in a similar situation. This is how I am getting 8+ hours unplugged while casually browsing or working, and around 6 hours video playback. And those numbers are from 80% charge.
The best fix for this is to stop letting windows decide what programs use the dgpu. Go to system - display - graphics and force whatever app is using the dgpu to use integrated graphics instead. You may need to manually add the app to this list before being able to do this, just click add desktop app and browse to the apps location (example below).
Between Lenovo Vantage mode being set to Battery saver and these two tricks to make sure I am not using the dgpu, I have consistently had great battery life.
FYI none of this applies to gaming, if you want to game plug it in.
Lenovo Yoga 16i Aura Edition, Intel 255H, RTX5070, 64GB RAM.
Video playback in browsers is choppy and stuttery (Firefox or Chrome-based Vivaldi, all this on Windows 11).
I have latest drivers, everything up-to-date. I have disabled nvidia overlay, and no extra nvidia video features are enabled (such as upscaling and enhancements, everything off).
Doesn't matter if I use the internal monitor, or external monitor.
In X/Twitter feeds and other browser site video content plays back horribly.
This is incredibly frustrating for such a powerful laptop. Something is definitely wrong.
Any help appreciated. Thanks!
CORRECTION: The correct model is Yoga 2-in-1 14ILL10.
My laptop is 2 months old and I'm already on my second repair ticket. 3 separate hardware issues.
Lenovo's been fixing it, no issues with that. But at 2 months old, why am I dealing with this at all?
I asked for a unit replacement because honestly I've lost trust in this specific model. Even offered to switch to a different model and pay the price difference. Still no.
I just can't confidently use a laptop that's had 3 different hardware problems in 2 months. A repair doesn't change my trust.
Anyone else lalso experience this with Lenovo device? How did they handle it?
UPDATE: Since some of you asked, the 3 issues were the:
-keyboard: +, - , sometimes backspace is not working
-board: Type C Port is busted. (technicians diagnosis is board issue)
-AC charger: is busted. (have tested it with other device too)
Hi all -- Looking for feedback or support from other users or from Lenovo. We bought a Yoga Pro 9i for my daughter in 2024. As soon as the warranty expired, she began to have problems. First, she had to replace the hard drive, which just totally died. Then, the keyboard stopped working and she's been using an external keyboard to compensate. Now the screen has gone blank, with finals just days away. I know she's a careful user and has been doing what she can to troubleshoot but this seems excessive. Has anyone else has this level of problem? Is this a lemon? Any suggestions?
I dropped my laptop for the first time ever after owning it for a year. Maybe I'm being OCD but does this look like I need to get it repaired? everything still works normal, no component failures, memory damage, etc... For context, it dropped with the charger in it and I think it landed on the charger or something and bent the case, one screw came out, and a part of the bottom case is loose/bent
